A quick Soundcloud search shows Natalola’s been a key collaborator on a shitload of superb house cuts over the past year (or so); today she takes a further leap into the limelight by hooking up with NVOY for the stunning (and we mean stunning) Golden Touch.
Shared as Danny Howard’s latest Radio 1 ‘Hottest Record’, the track falls part of four new songs lifted off NVOY’s debut EP Aurum which landed earlier today – itself a collection you’d be nuts to avoid.

Elderbrook’s First Time gets a shiny once-over courtesy of MANT, with the lads flipping the original toward sinister clubland levels (albeit with some spreightly synths thrown in).
Bump this one loud below; meanwhile MANT fans can look forward to new music soon, with a follow-up to November’s Bodywerk already on the horizon:
Liv Dawson has followed last year’s Tapestry debut by hooking up with Disclosure on the impeccable Searching.
Produced by the Lawrence brothers (Dawson’s also signed to Discosure’s Method Records imprint), the track easily sounds like an offshoot from ‘Settle’, and that’s no bad thing – Liv’s vocals perfectly suit a modern-day UKG sonic, whilst a production/co-writing effort with Jimmy Napes, alongside Guy and Howard, could never ever be classed as a bad thing.
Listen below:
Late last summer, MJ Cole threw down the gauntlet with his sinister The Rumble, a grimey affair that saw the producer delve into the underground netherworld alongside rising MC AJ Tracey.
Today, after a long wait, Cole finally delivers a follow-up by reuiniting with PMR-signed Alyss for Undo, a track which hears the legendary producer return to his soulful UKG roots and shared at a time when we all need something a bit more soothing in these challenging political times.
Listen below in full; MJ Cole is currently pulling together a live show for the year, with dates to be announced further down the line:
Skepta and Bruno Mars have been added to the list of performances for this month’s BRIT Awards, orgnaisers have announced.

The Knocks drop their new 6-track Testify EP tomorrow, and in celebration have shared the MNEK-featuring Worship, the follow-up to last month’s Lie.
Make no doubt, this is one groovy affair; which elements of ‘darkened’ soul, funk and gospel, MNEK’s vocals seem more on-point than ever before here, whilst the duo’s productions are as sharp as we’ve come to expect from their past material.
Worship needs to go straight on your playlists right this second – grab a listen below:

Earlier this week, surprise billboards popped up in East London teasing a new Stormzy project, alongside the hashtag #GSAP.
Sending fans into a whirlwind of excitement, it turns out that the MC’s new collection is in fact his long-awaited debut album, and now Man Like has dropped the official tracklisting, which sees Stormzy enlist one heck of a stellar cast.
Recently Stormzy sat down with Beats 1’s Julie Adenuga to explain his reasoning for the feature-list (which includes the likes of Wretch 32, MNEK and Raleigh Ritchie), whilst also showing his appreciation for Justin Bieber too (Bieber didn’t make the project, but we know Stormz is a fan!).
Gangs Signs and Prayer
After sharing Rooting For You as the clock struck midnight on 1st January, London Grammar have firmly announced their return to the scene with Big Picture, the latest excerpt from their upcoming second studio album.
Premiered by Mistajam as his latest Radio 1 ‘Hottest Record’ earlier this evening, the unveiling of the track also coincides with multiple festival dates, including the recently-announced Parklife in Manchester. Additionally, it seems that the trio may also be hitting up Worthy Farm to play Glastonbury 2017 later this summer too. When speaking about their upcoming shows, Mistajam asked “any plans to take a trip to Somerset at all?”, which was subsequently met by some nervous laughter followed by a coy “you might know better than us”. If true, this will mark London Grammar’s first Glastonbury appearance since 2014’s stellar closing set on the John Peel stage.
Anyhow, grab a listen to Big Picture below; you can also stream their interview with Mistajam underneath where they speak about their festival plans around the 9:48 mark:
